He said:
“Honestly, I was not a big fan of Black Sabbath’s Ozzy Osbourne years. Paranoid is my favorite record, but I actually started listening more when Ronnie James Dio joined the band on Heaven and Hell,” he said.
He then explained that his opinion was formed by considering the entry of the Prince of Darkness into the group “kind a return to one side through Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.”
When the conversation came to a comparison between his role in Megadeth and Geezer Butler on the Sabbath, he asserted that they are “very different” things, since a band “consists essentially of three instruments and a singer, and we are in four , and one of the musicians also sings. ”
David Ellefson’s solo album Sleeping Giants will be released in July 19. In addition to this project, his memoir, More Life With Deth, will be released on the 16th of the same month.
Ozzy was on Black Sabbath until 1979, when he was fired from the band due to his alcohol and drugs abuse.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
